state's share of the operating and facilities costs of the bill would

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

separate campuses of the University of California for the purpose of
combining technological and scientific research and training and
educating future scientists and technological leaders.
   (b) Each institute shall be created pursuant to a competitive
application process conducted by a panel selected by the Governor and
administered by the University of California.
   (c) In order to utilize the vast array of research and
intellectual resources available from throughout the state, each
institute may develop programs in cooperation with the private sector
and with California's other public and independent colleges and
universities.
   (d) The concentration of each institute may include, but shall not
necessarily be limited to, any of the following:
   (1) Medicine.
   (2) Bioengineering.
   (3) Telecommunications and information systems.
   (4) Energy resources.
   (5) Space.
   (6) Agricultural technology.
   (e) Funding for the state's share of operating and facilities
costs under this chapter is subject to appropriation in the annual
Budget Act.
   92901.  It is the intent of the Legislature that all of the
following occur:
   (a) That the University of California receive seventy-five million
dollars ($75,000,000) for each year for four years, for a total of
three hundred million dollars ($300,000,000) for the 2000-01 fiscal
year to the 2003-04 fiscal year, inclusive, for capital and operating
budget purposes.
   (b) That a portion of the funds referenced in subdivision (a) be
available, in an amount not to exceed 5 percent of the annual
appropriation, for annual operating budget expenditures.  At the end
of four years, the level of ongoing funding for the operating budget
of the institutes will be determined by the Governor and the
Legislature through the annual budget process.
   (c) That the University of California will not seek further state
funding for capital outlay associated with these three institutes
beyond that provided within the three hundred million dollar
($300,000,000) total.
   (d) Every dollar of state funds appropriated for these institutes
shall be matched by at least two dollars ($2) of nonstate funds,
including, but not necessarily limited to, federal and private funds.

preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the
meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate
effect.  The facts constituting the necessity are:
   In order to implement the Budget Act of 2000 with respect to
higher education, it is necessary that this act take effect
